Abstract

Management of scholarships can be interpreted as everything related to the management of the planning process to the follow-up of scholarships to achieve the goals that have been set, both short, medium and long-term goals. This study aims to determine the management of scholarships by the Human Resources Development Agency for teaching staff in Aceh Province. The method used is a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach - data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The research subjects were the Head of Human Resources Development and Cooperation of the Human Resources Development Agency, Sub-Coordinator for Cooperation Planning and Alumni Utilization, Sub-Coordinator for Apparatus Resource Development, Assistant for Technical Implementation of Activities, Scholarship Management Analyst, and Scholarship Committee. The research results show that: 1) Planning for scholarships for teaching staff is designed based on suggestions from the district/city government, and then a meeting is held to determine a work plan. Scholarships will be opened in various categories if the special autonomy funds are sufficient. 2) The implementation of the scholarship begins with the mechanism for registration, selection, and disbursement of funds which the committee carries out according to the existing formalities. 3) Evaluation is carried out both online and offline. As for online via the WhatsApp Group and offline, it is carried out by monitoring a team of experts from the Human Resources Development Agency to the intended university. 4) Human Resources Development Agency follow-up on scholarship recipients for educators, namely by increasing competence so that they can serve to improve the quality of education in Aceh Province. 5) Obstacles during the scholarship process are community issues regarding the closed selection of scholarships, difficulties in collecting data as needed, and information circulating in the community about scholarship regulations. The solution taken by Human Resources Development Agency in responding to this obstacle is to increase publications and routinely remind recipients to provide data on time.
